What on earth was Meades doing talking about Scottish football? Laugh

Will pick that up as he's very good.

It was more about architecture really but it was interesting to see the clubs. As per normal with JM, it's best watched with a dictionary to hand then you get to find out what 'neo-brutalism' (etc, etc)is!!

Young Boys Bern story (I promise this is 100% true!!):

It's long been remarked as ironic that Young Boys play in the Wankdorf Stadium. On a similar point, they were playing Spurs a couple of years ago and a Channel Five commentator (can't remember who) said: "Spurs should win this. Young Boys very rarely keep clean sheets."

There's Swallows, Leopards, Chiefs and Pirates. Plus Celtic, Ajax and Amazulu - which of course was an 80's girl-band who had a major hit with "Too Good To Be Forgotten".

Orlando Pirates, Ajax Cape Town etc. Kaizer Chiefs is valid though, and incidentally where the British band get their name from.
